I can make picks without a spread, unless there are a ton of games that are pickems.

Edit, nevermind I am stupid and clicked the nonspread link twice instead of the spread pickem

Congrats to wafflezombie for winning Eliminator, Slaytanic for wiping the floor with everyone in Pickem and thanks to Rura for running the show again this year!

It was fun on a bun!

Was Wafflezombie the last guy with no losses in pickem? Becuase he's only at the top of Pickem now due to having not bet one week.

I'm pretty happy with my tie for #1 in reverse pickem. I'm better at picking losers than winners, hah!

Cheers to Kettle for tying me for 1st palce in spread eliminator at 13-4. I would've been 1st but New England cannot play football in Miami. I, naturally, finished with a worse 11-6 record in regular eliminator, because that makes no sense.

Are you still working on entering the games, Rura? I can see the games, but I cannot bet.

But you're right, I wasn't the last one with no losses. But I will take the secondary glory of being on top of the leaderboard at the end of the season! Especially since my missed bet was due to the site being down.

Thanks again for running this Rura!

Taking the Pats in eliminator. I'm hoping the Cards win, and if those two things happen, I won't have an available selection in the Superbowl.

Welp, I've managed to guarantee I win playoff spread eliminator or reverse spread eliminator but I can't win both unless the Panthers win by exactly 4 or 5.

Well I got the Broncos money line but because the over paid more it killed my last chance make some money parley. See you for the preseason! Seriously I want to bet on the hall of fame game with funbucks.

And why can't I bet all my funbucks on the Raiders to win outright

Luckily the site works pretty well on a cellphone, if you have service. I did a lot of 9:58 AM bets pulled over on the side of the road.:cripes:

Vikings are favored 3 points over the Titans; get your bets in before Rura figures out Teddy dead.

Is there a way to delete groups? My friends and I made a group a long time ago but now no one uses it and it always bugs me to make picks for it.

If I remember right, the eliminator site is coded to grab odds from vegas - and it's too early for vegas to have final odds for week 1 games, right? So it might be using old/cached/outdated data for week 1.

In prior years, we had preseason games but the preseason buttons don't bring anything up, so I assume those just aren't there this time. Oh well.

I use lines from Pinnacle Sports. The lines are fetched every 5 min or so, and yeah, typically the moneyline odds don't show up until the final few days.

I was too lazy to insert preseason games this year. Maybe I'll go back and insert them later.

I'll be sending out the announcement email and starting a new thread today.

You can't leave a group you own, but you can leave every game inside it. Hit the + button on the group on the make bets page and then leave everything.
